I can see it now -- the US government censors the net to keep out the Germans (but the tourists can still come -- hey, at an average of $80K/year annual income, they're welcome to go shopping in New York, though if they want to change clothes on the beach they have to do *that* in California, Florida is right out, eh Lawton?) and the Germans censor the net to keep out the Americans.

Down with ITAR - Have YOU exported PGP today? (fwd)

This is a forward of something I just cross-posted to alt.security.pgp, and talk.politics.crypto. Civil disobedience via illegal .sigs. Adam ====================================================================== From: aba(a)dcs.ex.ac.uk Newsgroups: alt.security.pgp,talk.politics.crypto Date: Tue, 11 Jul 95 21:03:53 +0100 Subject: Down with ITAR - Have YOU exported PGP today? Distribution: world You all know about the ridiculous US regulation called ITAR and how it applies to crypto software in the US, well here's a fun and relatively safe (YMMV) way for you to export PGP in protest. It is just a token effort, and of 0 practical significance, but the idea is that you just post 3 lines of the uuencoded zipped DOS PGP executable in place of your usual sig in protest. If they lock you up for 3 uuencoded lines which came off a European ftp site and European web page, then well they are stupid. More to the point it would make them (the US state department and the NSA) look stupid. Take a look at this web page: http://dcs.ex.ac.uk/~aba/export/ it will dole out uuencoded parts of PGP.EXE (the DOS binary for pgp2.6.2i, the international version of PGP, as is available from myriads of non-US ftp sites).

DEA
by nobody＠REPLAY.COM 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Column by Jim Dykes in the Knoxville Journal (423-584-9606), 2/8/96. (...) I had a call the other day. About the DEA. Try to keep all these damn acronyms straight: DEA is Drug Enforcement Agency. Call was from an old cowboy - well, former Air America pilot, to be more precise, CIA. (There should be a federal agency to control us old men better.) To make a long, long story short, I have some names and phone numbers of people around the country - Customs, Immigration & Naturalization, maybe even some DEA, who can discuss rather interesting money ripoff techniques by DEA agents involving Title 18, Title 21, and Title 19 of the Federal Code. There was a time when I would have busted a gut - and a phone budget - trying to snare some bent government agents. But, now ... Let me make it perfectly clear that this old persimmon really doesn't give a damn. I am long past being shocked at venality and corruption in public servants. But, if anybody wants to be a hotshot investigative reporter (and run up a helluva phone bill for his or her employer) just give me a call. (That lets a lot of you out, since it would have to be somebody I know and trust.)

[snip] Yes, and some vendors will be in state (sales tax) & some out of state (no sales tax). Furthermore, if the vendor is in state but in a different locale, there will probably be some difference in sales tax rates as rates within states are usually based on vendor location. Also some types of purchases for some types of businesses/organizations/entities have various sales tax exemptions or surcharges, again all of which varies by state & locality. ALL of these factors will skew the distribution, eg. sales tax is usualy *.00% or *.25%, *.50%, *.75% etc. so a cursory look shows that 0 & 5 will be over represented due to this factor. tjh

Re: Speedup of bruterc4.c

For linux boxes (or perhaps 486 and pentium machines in general), try adding the flag -funroll-all-loops to the compile line. gcc -O2 -funroll-all-loops -m486 -o brute bruterc4.c Here are my results on a Linux 486/33 Original code (Adam+Tatu) : 5405 keys/sec Original code with -funroll-all-loops : 5991 keys/sec Original code with Russell's changes and a couple of my own and -funroll-all-loops : 6393 keys/sec Here are the changes I made: If we assume that the length of the cyphertext and known text is less than 256 bytes, then the following works. This gives you a whopping 40 additional keys/sec. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- int rc4_eq(unsigned char *buffer_ptr, unsigned char *known, unsigned char *cypher_txt, int buffer_len, rc4_key *key) { unsigned int t; unsigned int y = 0; unsigned char* state; unsigned int xorIndex; unsigned int counter; state = &key->state[0]; for(counter=0;counter < buffer_len;counter++) { y = (state[counter+1] + y) & 0xFF; swap_byte(state[counter+1], state[y]); xorIndex = (state[counter+1] + state[y]) & 0xFF; buffer_ptr[counter] ^= state[xorIndex]; if (known[counter] != buffer_ptr[counter]) { memcpy(buffer_ptr,cypher_txt,counter+1); return 0; } } return 1; } -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also, I could not get Russell's changes to work exactly as he posted them (I suspect it's because I'm using a very old linux system).

Once again, we'll congregate in the food court at the Tivoli, adjacent to the Auraria campus, and possibly wander elsewhere. We'll probably get updates on the David Triska and New Order prosecutions, which have interesting 1st and 4th Amendment ramifications, but there's no specific agenda.
